Prep and Freeze: Bell Peppers

For a working mom, trying to get dinner on the table at a
reasonable hour during the week can be difficult! I try to help myself out
whenever I can with shortcuts that I can use during the week. One such trick is
to prep and freeze. My local grocery store has had an abundance of beautiful
bell peppers lately. Luckily, these will freeze perfectly for use in soups,
stews, casseroles and fajitas.

Over the weekend, I bought 8 peppers in a variety of colors.
During nap time, I spent 20 minutes in the kitchen dicing and slicing them and
placed them in freezer bags in the freezer. During the week, I can easily add these to my
dinners without spending the time chopping.
